[QUOTE="WTL, post: 32301, member: 351"] First off I would like to again thank everyone for their advice in this thread. I decided on doing a drastic change - I could add all the ballast in the worldbut it would never compensate for my weight being so far back. So I reordered a new teleflex cable that would allow me to move the console and my seat up 2 1/2 feet. I am going to try it out tommorow and see if that did the trick. Also I have now extended the middle deck all the way back and added back the rear bench, only I made the rear bench seat about 3 1/2 feet wide - its what the drivers seat is on. I have braced this against the walls. And I took a large road sign post and riveted it into the top of each of the ribs to add longitudinal strength. I'm taking her out tomorow, and I'm going to try and use the "down periscope" string trick as well as just seeing how she feels. Here is a pic or 2, sorry its dark... KYMadman, thanks for the offer on the braces. I dont think I need em enough to warrant sending them in the mail, I have been making my own from steel, but thanks again. [/QUOTE]
